With about five minutes left (after midnight our time) and Italy in control at 1-0 my brother went to bed. Iwatched the rest of the match. Next morning he said "Did Italy win?" I said yes, but you missed the best match I've ever seen!" My opinion hasn't changed in 51 years!
I wonder how he would have reacted if you had said "West Germany scored 3 goals" instead "Yes"
Yes, wholeheartedly agree but I might be looking through my slightly Italian biased eyes but as o long time player of our great game I will say that this game had it all, where can you get more drama than this game had.

@@Smudgeroon74 only if they sort out their defence. When they won the World Cup in 1978 they had Daniel Passerella a truly great defender, in 1986 it was Oscar Ruggeri and sadly the late Jose Louis Brown both world class defenders. 🇦🇷 Argentina have no problems with midfield or attack it's their defence in recent years that has been a problem if they can sort that out they have a chance the last group of world class defenders they've had have been Javier Zanetti and Ruben Ayala since then they've had real problems.
Italy and Germany always play well together. For decades italian defence was what all teams feared
Great point all teams feared Italian defense but also I’ll add that all teams (except Italy) fear German offense
@@arturogonzalez6232 of course Germany has always had an amazing offensive strategy
Not only defense... :-)))))
Well, you just saw highlights of game in which Italian offence beat Germany’s by country mile
@@samdefore2692 Italy at the time up until the late 90s had an amazing counter attack because we had speed in the front, the last decade we lost that but now the new Mancini tactics of possession and quick passes has caught many teams
I was ten back then and due to time difference matches were ending at 01.45. My late mom was screaming that I had to go to bed and I was saying now and in a few minutes and the like. Finally i said that it finishes at 1.45 and then Germany scored and I said 30 minutes more and she thought I was kidding her. But finally I saw the match until the end. One of the strongest memories of my life
I'm older, but the same feelings are reminded. Not a fan of these team me was simply hypnotised by the ...ehh.. the Football !
You watched the game live? You were lucky. We in Asia only had the game on a few days' delay, the time needed to fly the tape from Mexico.

Yes.
Germany has some of its greatest matches ever in Mexico. Not only this, but also the one vs Argentina in 1986 in the Estadio Azteca. Legendary matches
I think it’s been voted by FIFA to be the best.
For better or for worse, Italy and Germany have given birth over the years to legendary matches that have entered the collective imagination.
When Italy hears the name Germany, she feels a kind of terrifying charge. The European derby without a doubt.
yeah and france still only have 2 world cup titles hee hee hee
Imagine been in Mexico in 1970 and go to the stadium just for fun to see a match not knowing that it’s going to be the match of the century
Ghost87 Is literaly named as match of the century in a plate on Estadio Azteca
Wow....i think it's too much to say that.....
never again we'll see football like that. never. the new generation plays absolutely different.

Incredible moment in the history of football. Full intensity and great players like Beckenbauer, Seeler, Riva, Rivera, Mueller and other. I was then 12 and I was in the stadium. Never before or after I have seen directly something similar.

@@christianchristian5184 That was a wonderful game but I still think the Italy-Brazil game in '82 is the greatest World Cup match of all. For sheer emotion and drama, this semi-final from '70 has no equal.
You were at this game? I am so envious! Must have been an unbelievable experience.
Albertosi, Cera, Domenghini, Riva - Cagliari Italian Champs team 1970
Some absolute top drawer legends playing toe to toe. Facchetti, Riva, Rivera, Mazzola, Maier, Beckenbauer, Overath, Seeler, Muller. List goes on. Beckenbauer for me a class above, those typical surging runs forward are amazing.
Mexico 1970 was indeed a memorable World Cup!
the best ever
Probably the best ever.....definitely in the top 3.
The 1970 Brazilian side was the greatest ever.
Mexico 70 and Mexico 86, the 2 greatest in one country.
I'm Italian , we italians and the Germans are the masters of create Great wc games .

I listened to this match on the radio in 1970. It was the most remarkable experience I have ever had. After full time, BBC radio broke off the commentary to go to world News and at the end of the news they gave the score. This is how it was announced. " And now we have the final score in the world Cup semi final. W Germany 3, Italy 4. ". I was besides myself. When he said West Germany 3, I jumped for joy and then he said Italy 4. Can you believe it!

My huge respect to both the teams for a legendary match, we will not see such encounters over 100 yrs. As a German fan, we lost but this laid the foundation of our entire ethos for the next 28 yrs.
This match was one of the greatest of all time indeed. Both the team were amazing
I remember when Karl-Heinz Schnellinger, at that time playing in Italy for AC Milan and beloved in the city of Milan, equalized for Germany just at the end of the second half. In Italy we were all shocked and felt ... betrayed. Perhaps, we forgot that he was german, playing for his national team. ah ah ah. In the end we won and I have to say that, to me, this is the n.1 match ever in the world cup. Itay and Germany are the two teams that always play until the end and offer great performances.
Schnellinger was in the box because the tunnel was on that side and he wanted to leave the field as soon as possible: ge believed that the game was lost for Germany.
The Best Play, of World Cup 1970.
of world cup EVER
People commonly says Germany used to be a more strenght than techical team, but there were a lot of dribbles in this game.
Im a big fan of Azzurri since my childhood💔
Paolo Maldini and Del Piero is the big reason why im a big fan of this team, i miss them a lot💔
Love from Bangladesh🇧🇩
Italy reached the finale with Brazil in that World Cup very exhausted because of this match
you have to think that all matches were at hgh altitude (so less oxygen). Players (especually the more muscular ones like Riva) cramped a lot and the recovery wasn't as effective
@@emanuelemarchisio3818 and Brazil played all their matches prior to the final in Guadalajara, with a better climate
Before this Italy played three of their first four games in Toluca nearly 2700 metres above sea level - the highest altitude of all the Mexican venues. They also had to travel to Puebla to play another first round game, then to Mexico City for the semi-final and final. They played 120 minutes against West Germany just three days before the final. A gruelling schedule. We arrived in the final on the brink of fatigue. You can see it in the game. We were equal to Brazil in the first half. In the second half, after an hour, we fell away and that's when Brazil scored the three goals. But Brazil deserved the trophy. The best team at the 1970 World Cup and still the best side I've ever seen.
Beckenbauer's legacy will continue to inspire generations to come. His contributions to the sport are immeasurable, and his loss is deeply felt by millions around the world. May we honour his memory by striving to emulate his passion and dedication to the beautiful game.🌹🌹🌹🌹

Nah that game would be another Italy vs Germany semi final 2006
Not get me wrong last night game was one of best game ever but that semi finals is just batter because first half of last night match was slightly week
Germany-Italy 2006 best, without doubt. France just slept for 80 minutes then got back into the game with easy penalties. Germany-Italy is like a boxing game where each actor throws punches.

Almost, just below Italy-Brazil 3-2 during the 1982 World Cup
france-allemagne 82 ; france-bresil 86 ; holland-argentina 98 etc...
@@MINGSTIPPE All great games but none had the drama and sheer emotion of this one - Italy were 1-0 up at half-time and comfortable. Then...Rosato makes one of the greatest goal-line blocks ever seen, Beckenbauer plays on with a broken collarbone, Overath hits the crossbar, Albertosi has to clear off his own goal-line from Muller after his botched goal-kick hits Grabowski, Schnellinger equalises for the Germans after two minutes of stoppage time with his first and only international goal, Muller puts Germany 2-1 up after Italian sub Poletti makes a mistake, Burgnich makes it 2-2 with his first and only international goal, Riva puts Italy 3-2 up with one of the best counter-attack goals you'll ever see, Muller scores his 10th goal of the World Cup to level at 3-3 and then - straight from the restart - Rivera makes it 4-3. Seriously, if you wrote that as a film script for a football movie, it would be thrown back at you for being too far-fetched.
Possibly the greatest game in World Cup history, along with the 1954 final.
And 6-3, stop underplaying how hard England got beat, it changed football!

De los mejores partidos que he visto en mi vida...tenía 9 años y aún lo recuerdo...
What a game !! Hard to believe it was played more than 50 years ago.. il looks so “modern”..
maybe it shows how much football had evolved tactically by 1970…
but still it must have been a truly exceptional match maybe setting the template for modern total football!
I am sorry, it doesn't look modern at all. Players make a ton of mistakes that would be rare today, they touch the ball 4-5 times before they pass it which just doesn't happen today, there's no pressing high up the pitch, their physical conditioning is worse than today and they probably play with a libero in defense instead of keeping a straight line. A mediocre modern team would probably beat either of those teams handily. Looking at those games, exciting as they may be is a reminder of how football has improved in every facet.
@@NC7491 Sure, today's teams are fitter and stronger (thanks to the evolution of sport science) and tactics and formations are more sophisticated. But I don't think individual skill levels of footballers are superior today than they were in, say, 1970. For example, I don't see a player today with a left foot and ability to hit a pin-point pass from 40 yards like Gerson, or who can back-heel a ball at mid-height to a teammate like Tostao.
@@hugodrax71 i agree, modern players rarely show off their skills. Bcz their coach would bench them if they do that. For me peak of football is 2000-2010s. The game was really entertaining and players not affraid to show their skills.
@@Winaryo175 Most modern footballers have been over trained, play like robots and have no skills to show. A player like Neymar were a dime a dozen in those days. I'd say 70s to 90s have the best balance of skills, power and tactics.

I was 2 years old, but my father told me about this epic match thousands of times. 12 years later i got to see Italy's triumph over West Germany in the spanish world championship 1982 final.
In 1982 Italy was clearly the better team. In 1970 Germany would have put up a much better fight in the final against Brazil. They lost the semi but I felt they were the better team 1970.
i love this old times of football ❤
Riva…. Underrated GOAT
yes man
Yes it was a goat, that’s why people from Sardegna loved him
Best game of last century.
Even knowing the outcome it felt dramatic. I wonder how many of those "non-fouls" would have been called penalty kicks today. Until that odd quarter final loss at the last Euro in France Germany and West Germany had never beaten the Azzuri in a competitive match.
Thanks for posting the highlights . What a brilliant game it was . I’d love to see the whole game again . Fond memories of staying up into the night watching the best game of the first World Cup in colour . Der Kaiser und Der Bomber in their pomp and how great was Seeler in the air ! I think I recall that Italy played Sandra Mazzola and Gianni Riviera one half each because they couldn’t or wouldn’t play together .Both superb midfielders . The infamous brutal Italian defence wouldn’t stay on the pitch for half an hour these days and even in these short highlights the ref was very lenient several times including a clear chop on Seeler in the six yard box .
Quite honestly, the speaker has no idea of football. In addition to mispronoucing the names of many players, he mentioned the possibility of a penalty shootout if the game ended in a draw, when in 1970 this option was not available. If the match ended in a draw after extra time, lots would be drawn.
You're absolutely right, that a pretty ridiculous mistake by FIFA...
Well spotted! Yes, penalty shootouts didn't start until later in 1970 - maybe this match pushed the authorities into making the change. The 1968 Euros semi between Italy and the USSR had been decided on coin toss.
Exactly, penalty shootouts were introduced formally for the 1978 WC, though they were not needed in that tournament (they would've only been used in the final).
In FIFA world cups knockout stage matches before 1978, there will be a replay of the game 2 days later if a game finished in a draw after extra time.
@@MisterPolitical1 Yep. Only one match in the history of the World Cup was replayed: Brazil / Czechoslovakia in 1938 (1-1 then 2-1).
The game of the Century
It is certainly described as such these days - but I am old enough to remember watching the match live.
And most of the first 90 minutes were rather dull, with the Germans toiling to break down a solid Italian defence.
It only came alive in Extra Time.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I found that these old matches are more attractive; more skills, more creativity, more characteristic, and less predictive.
Absolutely agree... It was real football.
Absolutely, more direct, todays midfielders just pass it right or left and back, and never front, why..no brains..no skill..sadly thats todays football for you.
This is true in all sports. Back then it was more about skill and creativity.
ur completely wrong , these matches are just silly , no skills no fitness , all those players can't stand 5 minutes in now a day football
@@alinadin you are right as far as physical strength, speed, circus ball tricks and endurance. You are wrong about individual creativity. Today’s players are programmed. It’s a result of growing up in an academy rather than in the park, streets or on a beach.

Na época, tinha 16 anos e acompanhei esse jogo pela televisão, em tempo real, pois era a transmissão ao vivo da primeira Copa do Mundo, pelo menos no Brasil, Foi um pesadelo ao final do segundo tempo, com o gol de empate (1 a 1) da Alemanha Ocidental, porém se tornou um sonho maravilhoso com a vitória da Azurra na prorrogação, por 4 x 3! E com o capitão da Alemanha Ocidental, Franz Beckembauer, jogando a prorrogação com o braço a tiracolo e enfaixado, salvo engano o direito!
Que jogo bem disputado, muito bom !!!
As italian, the best game ever, congrats to the Germany👏👏
3 LEGENDARY NATION POWER IN WC: 1.BRASIL🇧🇷 2.ITALY🇮🇹 3.GERMANY🇩🇪
I would say Germany in second place since they won three European cups (compared to only one won by Italy). But when it comes to playing against each other, Italy have never lost so far. Germany knocked out Italy in Euro 2016 only through penalty shootout (1-1 after 120mins), and I would also say the Italian team in 2016 was one of the worst in its history.
This match Almost similar to Argentina - France Final in the recently concluded FIFA WC 2022.
La più bella,incredibile ed emozionante partita a cuo ho assistito,e il calcioscommesse era solo agli albori...
